Palliative Care Australia
New survey data released today during National Palliative Care Week (NPCW) has highlighted limited community understanding around the broader meaning of palliative care and a general reluctance to engage in conversations on death and dying.
In direct response, and also launching today; an innovative national education campaign – Palliative Care It’s more than you think. – has been created to engage the community in a conversation about the benefits of palliative care.
The multimedia campaign developed by Palliative Care Australia (PCA), with the support of the Australian Government, seeks to challenge perceptions that palliative care is a ‘last resort’ and empower individuals to engage with their health care professionals early in their diagnosis in the hope to live as well as possible for as long as possible.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian will face a fresh political stoush over voluntary euthanasia next year with independent MP Alex Greenwich drawing up a bill that would bring NSW into line with several other states by legalising assisted dying for terminally ill patients.
It will be the second big-ticket social reform to test the Coalition government this term after the decriminalisation of abortion last year, which prompted three MPs to announce, but ultimately withdraw, a spill motion against Ms Berejiklian s leadership.
